COMPLETES WORK OF LAYING HEAVY STEEL
 
The laying of the heavy steel on the Payette Valley branch of Oregon Short 
Line railroad company was completed Thursday morning of this week.  Crews of 
track layers working in each direction have been busy for the past two weeks 
between Fruitland and New Plymouth.  With the gap closed this line is now 
supplied with steel which will allow the operation of the regular main line 
rolling stock from Payette to Emmett and on to the Long valley and Payette 
Lakes region.
 
A number of workmen are now busy resurfacing the track and establishing grade 
curves.
 
The Fruitland yards and loading stations for the big fruit packing houses will 
also be considerably improved and strengthened.
